More Money for Geopark Project in Greater Saint John

Saint John is another step closer to becoming the first UNESCO Geopark in North America.

The Province gave $35, 000 dollars to the project which is an area with both geological heritage and sustainable development.
Chair Bill Merrifield says the investment shows the province sees the significance of this designation for Greater Saint John and the province as a whole.

The Stonehammer Geopark project committee also includes representatives from Saint John Waterfront Development, the New Brunswick Museum and the tourism industry.
